Ubuntu 是完全基于 Linux 的操作系统， 可以免费得到社区和专业的支持。 一个庞大的社区来支持其发展， 我们也邀请你加入进来！

Ubuntu 社区是架构在 Ubuntu 理念上：软件应免费提供，软件工具应能以人们本地语种的形式可用且不牺牲任何功能，人们应拥有定制及改变他们软件的自由，这包括以任何他们认为适宜的方式。


这些自由让 Ubuntu 从根本上与传统的专有软件不同: 不仅仅是你需要的免费工具，你有权利修正你的软件，直到它以你想要方式工作。


Ubuntu 对于桌面和服务器都是合适的。当前 Ubuntu 发布版支持 PC (Intel x86), 64-bit PC (AMD64) 和 PowerPC (Apple iBook 和 Powerbook, G4 和 G5) 架构。

Subject: Announcing Ubuntu 6.06 LTS

The Ubuntu team is proud to announce the release of Ubuntu 6.06 LTS,
codenamed "Dapper Drake". This release includes both installable
Desktop CDs and alternate text-mode installation CDs for several
architectures, for Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Edubuntu.

Ubuntu is a Linux distribution for your desktop or server, with a
fast and easy install, regular releases, a tight selection of
excellent packages installed by default, every other package you can
imagine available with a few clicks from a global network of mirrors,
and professional commercial technical support from Canonical Ltd and
hundreds of other companies around the world.

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS will be the first Ubuntu release with a long-term
support cycle: free security updates and commercial technical support
will be available for three years on the desktop, and five years on
the server.

About Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
---------------------

Highlights of this release include:

On the Desktop CD

  * A new, very fast, graphical installer based on the Live CD

  * Faster system startup and login

  * Simplified menu organization

  * Graphical shutdown process

  * Easy access to power management settings with GNOME Power
    Manager (Ubuntu)

  * Improved support for video playback

  * Optional NetworkManager for convenient roaming between different
    wireless and wired networks

  * OpenOffice.org 2.0.2, X.org 7.0

  * Support for ongoing translation updates throughout the life of
    this release, for all supported desktop environments


On the Server

  * New kernels targeted at server platforms. The server kernels are
    tuned differently than the desktop kernels (providing better
    performance for server applications).

  * Both low-end and "big iron" server kernels. The low-end
    server kernel is generic, and should work on the same equipment
    that the desktop kernel runs on. The high-end server kernel is
    geared towards systems with greater than 8 CPUs (ES7000 / Summit
    / BIGSMP).

  * Turn-key LAMP installation for this common deployment scenario

  * Improved support for clusters and SANs

  * Thin client enhancements, including faster client startup,
    graphical boot process, reduced memory requirements, and sound
    device support


Localization

  * Automatic setup of non-Latin input methods

  * Menu item translations included in language packs, for faster
    integration of new and updated translations provided through
    Rosetta

  * Ongoing translation updates from the Rosetta web service:

      https://launchpad.net/distro/ubuntu/dapper/+translations


Installation and Upgrades

  * Ubuntu can now be installed to USB devices, such as removable
    hard drives and flash memory, using the text-mode installer

  * A new upgrade tool is available, for simple, clean and reliable
    upgrades from one Ubuntu release to the next, starting with
    Ubuntu 5.10

  * The alternate installer now runs in a single stage, rebooting
    straight into the complete system. This makes it faster,
    simpler, and more reliable.


"Under the hood"

  * GCC 4.0.3

  * glibc 2.3.6

  * Linux 2.6.15.6

  * New live CD infrastructure for improved performance, usability and
    space-efficiency

  * Greatly improved infrastructure for automatic hardware detection and activation

  * The system PATH is now set in exactly one place, /etc/environment, for
    convenient administration


As always, Ubuntu includes the very best of the 100% Free / Libre
application software world, and each new release incorporates
countless new features and bugfixes from the global development
community. More detailed release notes are at
